Hi all,

At what age does your chess playing ability peak? I'm guessing it's somewhere in your 30s.

I would think this would depend on what age you started playing/studying the game, no?

About age 40 for me. I am 72 now and my chess playing ability really deteriorated in the past few months.

I learned the game at about age 9 or 10.
